GUlTEAU'S HEAD.
Suspended In . Glass Case FILLED With
Alcohol.

NEw YORK, June l9.-Prof. Worth says
that the head of Charles J. Guiteau, the
assassin Of President Garfield, which was
always supposed to have been buried
under the floor Of his prison in Washing
ton, is in this city. There is nothing re-
no marks Of suffering, and simply looks
as though he were asleep. Before
Guiteau's execution the bids for owner
ship of the coming cadaver were occa-
sionally flattcring to the assassn's van
ity but aftcrward his feeling changed to
one of horror that his body was to be
hawked around or disscCtcd, and he made
every provision to defeat any such plans.
He finally ordered his remains TO be
placed at the disposal Of Rev. DR.. Hicks,
as he feared TO trust even his own rcla-
tivcs. DR.. Hicks did all that he possibly
could, but in spite of his efforts the body
was dlssected, and Guiteau's bones are
now upon exhibition in the Army Medi-
cal Museum at Washington, while his
head is in possession OF Prof. Worth.
After the execution DR.. Hicks yielded to
the desire of the Government for an au-
topsy of the brain, and he subsequently,
as he thought, saw the body lowered into
the grave which had been dug within the
Jail He saw Il coffin buried, but it con-
tanned no human remains. frof Worth
says that he first heard of the existence OF
Guitcau's head two years ago. he re-
cclved letter signed with fictitious name
informing him of the fact, and offering 10
disclose its location. 1t took him some
time to gain the confidence Of the writer
and learn where the head was concealed.
He finally found the head floating in alco.
hol, contained in glass jar, in the cellar
OF one OF the finest residences in Wash
ington. It was in perfect state, except
the nose was slightly tlattened. The cir
cular lar also magniiied the head and dis
torled the features. A sectional glass case
was made and in this the assassin
head is suspended. Said a gentle
man who saw the head day OF
| two ago: "The stitches made by the phys
icians in restoring the scalp TO its orglna
, position are as neat as the most skillfu
| embroidery. There was the yellowish fur
| row, showing the pressure of the rope, ex
tending three quarters around the neck
II showed that the knot had slipped from
| the left car around to the back Of the neck
His short hair and mustache were as per
feet as IN life"

THE REIGN OF TERROR.


LOUISVILLE, KY, June 2l-Nevcr in the
history of Rowan County has there been
such reign of terror in existence as at
the present time, The town of Morchcad
IS, as it were, over the crater Of slum-
berlng volcano ready at any moment to
burst forth and dcluge the earth with
blood. The friends of the murdered
Martins and Logans, who live in the
upper part of Rowan and the adjoining
counties, have become exasperatcd and
have organized band of "regulators,n ~
who have threatened to burn the town of
Morehead and kill all who oppose them,
They have sent several letters TO the Toll
liycrs, saying they intended to do these
things. As consequence every citizen
of Morehcad is alarmed for his safety
Every man and boy in the town goes hcav-
lily armed, and sleeps ON his
arms at night Many persons
have not slept any at night for
two weeks, and the feeling of insecurity
is so strong that very little business is
transacted. The Tolivers claim that it
would take thousand armed men to cap
ture the placc,and that that number would
have great difficulty in doing so. Alto
gether it is Il terrible state of affairs and
undoubtedly calls for the interference Of
the strong arm Of the law, even If it has
to be supported by the State troops. It's
highly probable now that the Governor
may interfere and put a stop to that which
promises to result in much bloodshcd.
